GLOVERSVILLE — A city man who last summer was embattled in a duel between warring ice cream trucks was arrested for drunk driving Thursday, according to the television station WNYT.

Joshua Malatino, who was accused of strong-armed sales tactics while driving a Sno Kone Joe ice cream truck, had a 0.12-percent blood-alcohol content when he was pulled over by city police Thursday morning, the television station reported.

Gloversville police could not immediately by reached.

Malatino, 35, was pulled over near East Pine and South Main streets, WNYT said. He was issued an appearance ticket and released, the station said.

Last summer, the city refused to re-issue vendor permits to Malatino and girlfriend, Amanda Scott, after the pair were arrested for allegedly stalking and harassing a rival ice cream truck, Mr. Ding-A-Ling.

Those criminal charges against Malatino and Scott are still pending.

The case wound up in civil court when Malatino and Scott filed a complaint against the city for not giving them a new permit. After a lengthy trial in state Supreme Court in Fulton County, a judge ruled with the city.

Earlier this year, the city said Malatino and Scott were not given permits for this summer.

The Mr. Ding-A-Ling driver Malatino and Scott were accused of harassing, Phillip Hollister, was himself arrested for DWI last year after the well-publicized civil case. Hollister allegedly drove drunk in his Mr. Ding-A-Ling truck from a July 4 fireworks show. That outcome of that case was not immediately clear.
